My new business card.
Spotify is the lowest payer to artists. Their Ai band is raking it in. The CEO is investing in a software which will automatically determine who to kill (like, skynet for real). All contribute to real musicianships downfall, but isn't it time to find a slightly less sinister streamer? Like Deezer?

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.”

Nailed it.

No other party says the basic truth: migration is good for Britain.

The real problem? Inequality, soaring bills, underfunded public services.

That’s driven by the greed of the super rich and the Labour government who serve them - not by migrants.

Thoughtfully written piece in the guardian about how modern, exploitative and neo-liberal mechanics of societal development aid breaking the old, nice things we love. Like cable cars. Or democracy.
